Beavers
District Beaver Fun Day
Jul 9th
BY HANNAH REED
On the 26th of June Gilberdyke beavers met at our scout hut and we went to Tablers Wood near Snaith. We were all given name tags and met up with other beavers from our district. We stood around the flag pole and had opening ceremony .
Then we got with a partner and stood in a line and then we were all split up up into 11 groups so we mixed with beavers from other groups. Then we went to do our activities towards our outdoor challenge badge.
1. Icing tracking signs on a biscuit
2. Cookink marshmallows on sticks over candles.
3. Parachute games.
4. Face painting.
5. Assault course
6. Pioneering.
7. Treasure hunt, looking for 30 containers of stones.
8. Finding leaves.
9. Circus skills.
10 . Put up a tent and take it down.
11. Knot tying
12. Tug of war.
We were allowed cold drinks all day because it was a very hot day.
Then it was time for tea we all had to take a healthy packed tea. Gilberdyke beavers and leaders all sat together under a tree in the shade to eat our teas. After tea we all put jumpers on and we went into camp fire circle.
All the groups took it in turns to sing a song we sang I’m a little Beaver, short and stout, here’s my tail and here’s my snout, if you pull my tail, then you’ll hear me shout, hey im a little beaver cut that out.
We all had a fantastic day of fun and all the beavers achieved their outdoor challenge badge.

Lisa Vincent (BL) reports.
We took 12 Beavers to the District Event at Raywell, over 600 Beavers from other colonies where there. At the opening ceremony the children watched a circus act which was funny. All the Beavers had a fantastic day out and we where blessed with the weather. The Beavers did lots of activities like go-karting, grass-sledging, beat the goalie, bouncy slides/castles, fun bus, launching rockets and they made lots of souvenirs to take home such as door hangers, book marks, dream catchers, rock painting, key-rings, decorating biscuits and much much more. They where extremely exciting at meeting Bear Grylls who came to visit, he arrived in a helicopter.
Wanted……
Jun 15th
Wanted…..reports written by the Beavers, Cubs and Scouts on their activities undertaken as part of the group for inclusion on this website.
I would be grateful if young people involved in the Gilberdyke Group could write short reports on the activities they have been undertaking for inclusion on the website. There is no maximum or minimum length to the report, and it should be written by the young person themselves. It would be great if a photo could be included of the activity. If you would like to write a short report for submission please email it to me (peter@gilberdyke.net). Thanks.
